Grant Overview
Michigan's Priority Outcomes for Grants to Support Partnerships Between School Districts and Community Colleges
Target Outcomes for Michigan's Career Academy Programs
Michigan's career academy programs are designed to equip students with the skills and knowledge necessary to succeed in the state's thriving economy. The Michigan Department of Education and the Michigan Department of Labor & Economic Opportunity are working together to support partnerships between school districts and community colleges that expand access to these programs. Grants of up to $1 million will be awarded to projects that best meet the criteria specified in statute, with a focus on programming delivered through regional centers. The priority outcomes for these grants include increasing the number of students participating in career academy programs, improving student outcomes, and addressing the state's workforce needs.
Michigan's economy is driven by a diverse range of industries, including manufacturing, healthcare, and technology. The state's career academy programs are designed to provide students with the skills and training necessary to succeed in these fields. For example, the Michigan Works! Association, a statewide network of 16 local workforce development boards, provides resources and support to help students and workers develop the skills needed to compete in the modern economy. By supporting partnerships between school districts and community colleges, these grants will help to ensure that Michigan's students have access to the training and education they need to succeed in the workforce.
Measuring Success in Michigan's Career Academy Programs
The success of Michigan's career academy programs will be measured by a range of outcomes, including the number of students participating in the programs, the number of students completing the programs and entering the workforce, and the earnings of program graduates. The Michigan Department of Education will work with grantees to track these outcomes and ensure that the programs are meeting the state's workforce needs. In addition, the department will provide technical assistance and support to help grantees improve their programs and better serve their students.
Michigan's unique geography and demographics also present opportunities for career academy programs. For example, the state's Upper Peninsula is characterized by rural counties with limited access to educational and job training resources. Career academy programs delivered through regional centers can help to address these disparities by providing students in these areas with access to the training and education they need to succeed. Similarly, the state's growing diverse population presents opportunities for career academy programs to be tailored to the needs of diverse student populations.
Applicants for these grants should be aware of the state's priorities for career academy programs, including a focus on programs that lead to industry-recognized certifications and credentials. The Michigan Department of Education is working with industry partners to identify the state's workforce needs and develop programs that meet those needs. For example, the state is promoting programs in areas such as advanced manufacturing, healthcare, and information technology, where there are high demand jobs and opportunities for career advancement. By supporting partnerships between school districts and community colleges, these grants will help to ensure that Michigan's students have access to the training and education they need to succeed in these fields.
The state's small business community also stands to benefit from these grants. By providing students with the skills and training necessary to succeed in the workforce, career academy programs can help to address the state's workforce needs and support the growth of small businesses. In fact, many of Michigan's small businesses are already benefiting from the state's workforce development programs. For example, a recent survey found that many small businesses in Michigan are struggling to find workers with the skills they need to compete in the modern economy. By supporting partnerships between school districts and community colleges, these grants will help to ensure that Michigan's students have the skills and training necessary to succeed in these businesses.
